Iran-linked hackers have breached FBI director's personal emails

GMail, like Apple, has specific enhanced security programs available for Politically Exposed Persons:

The fact the Director of the FBI did not avail himself of this just reiterates how incompetent he is, in addition to being corrupt as heck.

Gone are the days of the strong silent type running the roles of high power in the government. He is a real embarrassment and I feel sorry for his mother.

I feel like sending phishing emails for penis enlargement pills would take down half the current administration.

I'm sure it will be embarrassing for him personally, but not a breach of U.S. government systems.

Kudos to CNN for publishing a balanced take on it.

Not surprising as email providers like Yahoo's security are a joke. A former CIA director got his personal emailed pwned as well.

But just a personal account with materials reportedly from 2011-2022, not an FBI breach

I’m surprised no group has hacked the Epstein files, given the extreme interest.

>“This isn’t an FBI compromise — it’s someone’s personal junk drawer,” he said.

Eh, with how many people in the current administration seem to use out of band channels to communicate very important things who knows what else they located.

No worries. As long as rigorous due diligence was followed when vetting him as a candidate, there will surely be nothing embarrassing or harmful found in his personal emails.

I'm sorry but nothing can ever be more embarrassing for that man who wrote this book to get that job

What an absolute clown

But far more seriously, imagine the danger he has put this country into by firing so many critical people, some specifically and uniquely for Iran and Middle-East defense

Let's hope we don't get another 9/11 in the next 1000 days because they are completely unprepared and won't ever see it coming, maybe even on purpose

But ... but her emails!

Did they find those non-existent Epstein files?

@vrganj No, the opposite. The Trump admin with Kash Patel, was claiming early on that the Epstein files are a hoax, that he's seen the files personally and there's "nothing there".

@vrganj It makes sense if you know the context.

He absolutely uses his personal email for all sorts of sensitive stuff. I guarantee it. It seems to be a constant with this administration, just a slow decline into incompetence.
